Melting Hearts

Part 50 - Monday part 3

***Sahana's P.O.V***

My face had been continuously burning from even before I'd left Arush's cabin, and now, sitting at my desk and trying but failing to work, with his antics from earlier flashing in my mind, my face just grew even more hotter as more blood rushed to my cheeks.

I couldn't help the smile curving up to my lips as I recalled how he'd moved his hand along my thigh, acting so innocent.

And then I realized that this was just the beginning.... More than this awaits me in the future.... Oh God what would happen if we....after we...did it... After we had sex?! Oh God!!

My phone buzzed at the same moment, and I looked at it, to find a message from Arush blinking on the screen.

' thinking about me are we?! Don't tempt me to bite your tomato red cheeks now!! I know I'm the reason behind that blush baby' - the message read, and my eyes grew wide in horror.

Where was he?? Instinctively, I looked up and around, to find Arush standing just outside my cubicle, talking to Amruth who sits behind my cubicle.

Though Arush looked deep in conversation, the glint in his eyes and the way in which his lips twitched to a smirk told me too well that he had been observing me for a while now.

Biting my lip, I looked away, trying to act oblivious to his presence and get on with work.

My phone buzzed again, making me sure that it was yet another message from Arush.

And sure enough, I looked at my phone to find his name blinking on the screen, with a message.

' going to try and act oblivious to me now are you? Oh the way you bite your lip... Don't tempt me to do it too in front of everyone 😉 what are you thinking so much about that's making you blush like that?! It's very obvious that you're thinking about me baby! 😉' - the message read.

Oh he's going to gloat a lot about it isn't he? I should teach him a lesson!!

Pursing my lips to stop myself from giggling, I turned a little on my spot so that Arush could see my face completely and started typing a message to him-

' oh I'm sorry if I gave you an impression that I was thinking about you!! I was just thinking about Amruth.. he looks so dashing when he's talking about his passion... Oh the way his jaw moves... His clean shaven face gives a nice view of his perfect jawline... I was just admiring that' - I read the draft a couple of times before hitting the send button.

I put down my phone and pursing my lips tighter to stop smiling, I looked intently at Arush's direction, wanting to make him believe that I was observing Amruth instead.

I put my hand to my mouth to stifle my giggles as Arush's smirk vanished the moment he started reading my message on his phone.

His eyebrows knotted and his lips pursed tighter than ever as his eyes moved down the screen of his phone, reading my message.

And then, like a lion read to pounce on it's prey, Arush glared at Amurth before barking "Mr.Shah you come to office to work. This is a very professional environment! You are to maintain a professional beard...not this clean shaven look like a hippie. You are to grow a beard and I don't want you to come clean shaven to office ever again" before storming off.

With the last of my restraint giving away at Amruth's confused expression, I put my head down in my table and giggled, unable to stop myself.

****

Lunch was a subdued affair, seeing how my lunch gang had taken a table next to Arush's who was sitting with Raj and a few other managers.

Call it my good luck or bad, but Amruth too happened to sit with us for lunch today, as he's Kinjal's friend's boyfriend.
